Genomic epidemiology of a protracted hospital outbreak caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumanniiin Birmingham, England

14 Nov 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii commonly causes hospital outbreaks. However, within an outbreak, it can be difficult to identify the routes of cross-infection rapidly and accurately enough to inform infection control. Here, we describe a protracted hospital outbreak of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii, in which whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was used to obtain a high-resolution view of the...
